Abstract

In this chapter we consider multicomponent active systems of reproductive agents. Such agents are assumed to interact, either directly or through some mediators, so that the interactions influence their reproduction rates. If a particular interaction enhances the reproduction rate, it is activatory; if it reduces the rate of reproduction, it can be considered as inhibitory. Such reproductive networks comprise a large number of models that are found in various fields, from chain nuclear reactions to prebiological evolution, ecological systems, and market economies.
